Croxton is a medieval settlement located in Lincolnshire, England. The site represents a deserted or shrunken medieval village, a settlement pattern common across the East Midlands during the medieval period and subsequently abandoned or substantially reduced in population. The monument survives as earthworks and ridge-and-furrow field systems that provide evidence of the former layout and agricultural organisation of the medieval community. Such settlements form an important archaeological record of medieval rural life and land use in the region.
